New Masterpiece Starscream - MP52

[High_Q]

Takara Tomy has revealed that a new MP Seeker mold is in the works through Twitter!

(Hmm, on actually reading the Google Translate of the announcement, all it mentions is "revived", and this may not mean a new mold or retool, but a reissue. However, the new silhouette suggests not a simple reissue. Mods, please change the thread topic if required.)

And so it begins...

Better not be a V3. I already have 6 seekers.

So glad I sold the doubles of all my seekers. I?ll be getting rid of the rest once V3 is released. I hate the MP-3/11 mould with a passion.

This. Cartoon accuracy or not, I?m not forking out for 6 more seekers. I?ve already gone through MP4, MP10 and MP44. I draw the line at this money grab.

Interesting. I will watch this with interest.

I'm a sucker for fighter jet alt modes, so I am potentially keen.

That said, I'm also a sucker for a proper transformation and the MP line has been moving away from that for a few years now. Most of the figures they've done recently turn inside out to hide all the real car/truck/animal kibble on the inside of the robot and use fake kibble on the outside, which is a deal breaker for me.

Times like this make me glad I'm not a completionist at all. I've only got one copy of each existing MP Seeker mold (the Skywarp repaint of MP3 release here as part of Universe 2.0 and the original MP-11 release of Starscream).

I'm so glad I'm out of the Masterpiece game.

I already have MP3 US Ver., MP6, MP7, MP11, MP11SW, MP11T, MP11NR, MP11NT, and MP11ND.

I don't want to spend another cent on MP Seekers.

Luckily I only really collect Thundercracker

About time Takara started going back to their bread and butter molds. I'll take all 586 repaints.

Very excited for this redo, the existing MP definitely showing it's age at this point.
